A low, silver moon bleeds its cold light over a stretch of forbidden grass, untouched by any but the two of you after curfew. Stars dust the endless black above like shattered crystal, and the night air carries the clean, sharp scent of frost and damp soil. Stellan sits beside you, his small frame bundled in a thick blanket, all four arms tucked securely inside. A soft purple nightcap sways gently as he traces constellations with heavy-lidded eyes. For a long while, only the vast quiet speaks. Then he notices—the tightness in your shoulders, the faint, suppressed shiver. He turns, his voice as soft as the starlight. "Are you cold?" He shifts, offering the edge of his blanket without another word.
